Quirky, smart, and genre-busting, this is the saga of a book that nobody wants to read--until the day it meets YOU. The life of a book isnt easy, especially when people judge you by your cover (not every book can be adorned with sparkly unicorns!). And this narrator should know--its the book itself, and it has a lot of opinions. It gets irritated when readers bend its pages back, and it finds authors quite annoying. But it does have a story to tell. Through witty direct address and charming illustrations, readers meet a book that has never been read, with a cover the boring color of a school lunch table and pages so dry they give bookworms indigestion. But what happens when this book meets you, a curious reader? Multitalented author Richard Ayoade and award-winning illustrator Tor Freeman bring to life a hilariously subversive take on the nature of books and reading, with a heartening theme of finding the courage to tell our own stories. Readers of all ages will be delighted by the myriad bookish references and laughs on every page. 521 2 $a Grades 5 - 8. 650 0 $a Books $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Books and reading $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Fiction $x Authorship $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Book covers $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Children's stories. 655 7 $a Humorous fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Children's audiobooks. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Cocker, Jarvis, $e narrator. 700 1 $a Fox, Lydia, $e narrator. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Playaway Products, LLC, $e issuing body. 941 $a 2 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509011931.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305022408.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0A291E4A68C511EE82CCA71150ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
